Sad lonely people who invest tooooo much time in a message board. It’s pathetic.

If Hillary wins, conservative values die with the conservatives.


Not my Conservative values.

Completely agree! It’s very discouraging to me.

I’m not a fan of this “Multi-Conservatism” being propagated on FR.

It dilutes our foundations into meaninglessness.

I understand his feelings, here. The asshole density has become really high and I would attribute it to liberal and GOPe trolls.

You know who you are. What is pathetic is the number of regulars here who are willing to get sucked it to the squables.

So the Rats are going to leave you alone to hold their enemy's flag intact? Why would they do that?

You know the purpose of this thread is to discourage Freepers from taking part in political discussions during the primaries, right? To "lead by example"? And that the OP is therefore a political operative of the opposition?

You got all that, or are you still reading the back of the Cheerios box?

In the meantime, Trump holds but 10% of my flag.

Yep. But Hillary lights your flag on fire and then pisses on it, while Trump can beat her and close the borders.

You’re making at least two big assumptions very early in this contest.

1. Hillary will get the nod.

2. Trump is the only one that can beat Hillary.

You’re correct, people need to focus their fire on the enemy, not one another. It’s been a trail to watch folks go after one another. Maybe it will calm down after a few primaries and we may even be able to unite again.

When politics get under your skin, block it out for a bit. That is what I do, too. It will be a long election season.

I just looked at that thread again yesterday.

If I've included in ping to this comment anyone who has not themselves been involved in discussing this matter, then bear with me if you would, for each person I've pinged here has either made less-than well founded comments, or else been addressed by those who have.

The individual who Responsibility2nd and Eddie01 has mentioned on this thread, did not state that they were leaving, and would not return, etc.

The way you (both) put it is something of a mischaracterization, forgivable enough though, for reason of that thread's title as many here, including myself, first encountered it.

To explain;

The [My Opus] portion of that thread title was added by a moderator. I was first tipped off to that aspect of that thread by a comment on the thread, an individual there saying there that they had seen the thread (and title) prior to the addition. Just now, a little while ago, I have had this information confirmed by the OP of that thread, which initially had been entitled "Trumpees" minus the "[My Opus]" later addition and that the thread posting was not intended to be an opus.

The OP did not deliberately craft an opus, but was given short "time-out" suspension of FR account, nonetheless.

Does this sound fair enough?

I am not deliberately attempting to mislead anyone, but am hoping to put to rest invalid, and unnecessary extraneous info being glommed on to what DID occur.

All in all it did not come across to me as having been intentionally posted as a "here's my opus -- Goodbye Cruel Forum I'm Gone" but more like a venting of The Spleen of Frustration*. That too has been confirmed by the OP, although the terminology and capitalization which I just characterized the thread as being, is of my own invention. She said something more along lines of "It's been like an insane asylum" recently, and who could argue that point, regardless of whoever one supports in this on-going presidential election primary season?



* Not to be confused with;

libbylu has been spamming the forum for many, many weeks now.

She's one of a handful of The Usual Suspects who have been stirring the pot to the boiling point.

Allow me to translate "DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL.":

It's standing in the top of a tree in the middle of a field in a lightning storm and waving a stout copper rod around.

What do you think is going to happen?

To: kiryandil; libbylu

Spamming you say. Well then, she must be crucified. Ok, short of that it's open season on the freeper known as libbylu.

Then you'll help me character assinate Trump supposters who are likewise "spammers" and have been going at it with gusto for "many, many weeks now". Right? We want to be even handed just, do we not?

What's up with that snark? Like I can't or did not read it myself? Heck, I even provided a link to the thread under discussion, buried within my last comment on this thread, and I did read each and every comment made on that other thread, most of them in real time, as comments came flooding in.

What did happen? Didn't I just make mention of that?

You're wasting my time with useless questions.

Yet not providing one whit of acknowledgement that portions of what others have been saying about the freeper known as libbylu has been at best -- incorrect.

Will the piling on, and repetition of complaints already aired make what I did have to say about the issue -- go away?

If you desire for me to more seriously address whatever it is you are trying to say -- first -- give a little.
